The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Select the elite and set up a camp!

This is the most convenient method!

That's what Yu Qian and others did after the Civil Engineering Revolution.

Select elites from the three major battalions and reorganize the ten regiment battalions to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Beijing army.

In the same way, after Zhu Houzhao came to the throne, he faced the current situation where the Twelve Regiment Battalions had many disadvantages and were weak and were no different from the three major battalions in the old days. Five thousand alone", then we have to think of other ways to restore the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp.

The most convenient way is to follow the example of the three major battalions in the past to select frontiers to form a regiment camp, and select the elite from the twelve regiment battalions that have accumulated shortcomings and weaknesses to establish another camp.

This is also the purpose of Zhang Mao's trip.

Whether it is the Beijing camp or the regiment camp, the final combat strength of the Beijing army now consists of more than 60,500 people.

Honorable military minister!

And these last 65,000 people are Zhang Mao’s real target!

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Give me five years to build an iron army of 50,000 people, and I can pacify the Beibei!"

"But the premise is, how much support can you, the little emperor, give me!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, and his originally excited face suddenly collapsed.

The little emperor has already had enough of this frustrating life!

If he could wipe out Mobei at once, if he could beat the northern captives like Emperor Taizong Wen did, Zhu Houzhao would be willing to do anything!

"Yetang Hao!"

Zhang Mao deliberately leaked the corruption of the Beijing camp to the little emperor, naturally in order to arouse the anger of the little emperor, so as to complete the selection of the leader of the Beijing camp again!

What's more, it's only been five years!

hehe!

"I have known about the corruption of the capital camp for a long time, I was just pretending."

At this moment, the little emperor and Tang Hao were coming to the side hall. When they heard the movement next to them, they both couldn't laugh or cry.

Because the management of military households in various military posts, the training and management of garrison troops in various provinces, and the promotion of generals in various regions are all under the control of the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

During the Hongwu period, the Ministry of War, one of the six bureaus, only had the power to mobilize troops stationed in various places.

Therefore, the relationship between the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army and the Ministry of War is not harmonious, and there has been constant overt and covert fighting.

The eunuch who oversees the gun!

Who doesn’t get a piece of the pie from this Beijing camp?

I am afraid that the civil servants and gentry will not tolerate it. Tang Hao leads the army alone to break the current good situation and rise again with the military officers and nobles!

Tang Hao even had some doubts as to whether this was an agreement reached between the military generals and the civil servants.

Tang Hao nodded.

The Ming Dynasty could no longer take the initiative to go out to clear Mobei, and could only huddle in the military town of the Nine-Border Great Wall and be beaten passively!

Since then, the Fifth Army Governor's Office has completely become a fictitious military institution. It mainly provides an opportunity for the children of the military generals' noble group to fake their salaries and eat empty wages, and has since been completely away from the core circle of power.

The current corrupt Beijing Camp is actually a true portrayal of the Ming Dynasty's army.

Five years seems to be a long time, but the little emperor is only fifteen years old now. He can definitely afford to wait and can endure it!

For the same reason, Liu Daxia couldn't understand it.

If it weren't for being poor, he wouldn't have allowed Liu Jin and those bitches to go to Guangzhi Imperial Mansion to make money and take bribes!

Although the little emperor was very unhappy, he still nodded.

Definitely full support!

Tang Hao wanted to form a new army and create an iron army that could accompany him on the battlefield. It was not an easy task, and the civil servants and gentry were the biggest obstacles.

Civil servants and gentry!

Is it possible that he, the Ming Emperor, could still kill all the civil and military officials in the dynasty?

Hearing Tang Hao's words, Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly in shock, his face flushed with excitement!

In order to strengthen the power in his hands, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to have his power divided, especially the Zhongshu Province and the Dadu Governor's Palace, so he abolished the Zhongshu Prime Minister system and divided the Dadu Governor's Palace into five, becoming the Five Military Governor's Palace. .

For example, Zhu Houzhao had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. As soon as the little Mongolian prince heard that the Ming Dynasty had changed to a younger emperor, he immediately raised troops to invade the country, burning, killing, and looting along the Great Wall.

Because he knew that this matter was not that easy.

"For example, for these more than 65,000 people, their weapons and armor, their food and clothing, and the most basic money and food supplies, can you, the little emperor, guarantee it?"

He is just a poor little emperor who can guarantee nothing!

Zhu Houzhao was hurriedly preparing to speak, patting his chest to make a promise.

"Five years, 50,000 iron troops, to pacify the Northern Barbarians?"

There is really no problem in selecting the elite and setting up a camp!

"The little emperor is indeed different. Since he learned to use his brain, he is much wiser than before!"

Take the current Beijing camp as an example. Military generals, civil servants, eunuchs and eunuchs all get a share of the pie, and can all make a lot of money.

But the problem is that this new army coach must not be Tang Hao!

Except for the dead eunuchs Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong, he didn't even have a decent confidant.

Why do this?

Because there is a lot of profit transfer hidden in it.

"When have I ever been stupid? It was all because of Liu Jin, a bastard, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Therefore, the little emperor lowered his head in shame.

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to follow the advice of his courtiers and arrange for men to go out with seals, which would cost a lot of money and food.

Taking advantage of this civil disaster, the Ministry of War began to gradually intervene in the appointment and dismissal of generals, the training and management of garrison troops in various places, and firmly controlled these powers in the hands of the Ministry of War, cutting off all the flesh of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion piece by piece.

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Houzhao was angry, "What are you talking about?"

However, at this time, the status of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army was still higher than that of the Ministry of War.

How to do it?

Zhu Houzhao said something from his heart. It was really difficult for him to do anything before.

The emperor cannot make mistakes, otherwise it will affect his imperial prestige.

Moreover, the previous little emperor had no one available around him.

In the early years of Hongwu, there was a large governor's office, which was in charge of the military affairs of the world. It also had the power to mobilize troops and manage the garrison in various places.

By the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of War had completely emptied out the Five Military Governor's Mansion, and the civil servants and gentry group had completely emptied out the generals and generals.

Two old guys in their 60s and 70s started scolding each other for this.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you. I just hope you can use your brain more in the future!"

Therefore, in this Zhengde dynasty, when the civil servants and gentry began to exert their efforts to firmly control the military power in their hands.

To whom?

Even if he was determined to reorganize the Beijing camp and improve the combat power of the Beijing army, there would be no one available and there would be nothing he could do!

However, things are different now. The little emperor has Tang Hao, a wild man, who is also a natural born general who is brave and can fight tigers. Wouldn't it be a pity to leave him alone?

"Don't worry, Ye Tanghao, I will definitely win this position for you this time!"

Tang Hao smiled when he saw this.

Tang Hao must be allowed to take charge of this new army!

Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and spoke.

The civil servants and gentry asked for the power to command the troops of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, while the noble military ministers had to hand over their power and allowed their nephews to enter the "underworld" of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to pretend to receive their salary and eat empty wages!

The Fifth Army Governor's Office lost the power of discussion held by the Great Governor's Office and began to have to obey the emperor's orders.

During the reign of Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, the management rights of military households and farmland also began to be transferred to the Ministry of War.

The key problem is that the Northern Barbarians have become a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty, especially after the Tumubao Incident.

After scheming, this old guy Zhang Mao is clearly paving the way for Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan!

For this reason, he did not hesitate to blow the whistle and wanted to force Liu Daxia to bow his head!

Anyway, if you make a mistake, there will definitely be a scapegoat, and Liu Jin is Zhu Houzhao’s best scapegoat!

"You are right that you are wrong, you know it in your heart!"

"Ye Tanghao, is this your idea?"

How much support?

"I have long been interested in rectifying the affairs of the camp, but due to the entanglement of various forces in the capital camp, it is difficult to take action directly!"

"Little Emperor, let's show each other the truth!"

Anyway, both parties are happy, and the only people who are worried may be the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!

Tang Hao smiled and nodded when he heard this, but he didn't feel happy at all.

On the surface, this is a power struggle between two organizations, but in fact, it is a game between the military generals group and the civil servants group, a dispute for the right to speak in the court.

Tang Hao just smiled coldly.

"This is the best plan!"

Until the Tumubao Incident, when Emperor Jingtai came to power, the civil servants and gentry headed by Yu Qian and others took advantage of the great loss of power of the military generals group and the heavy damage to the Fifth Army Governor's Palace to unceremoniously seize all the support from the Fifth Army Governor's Palace. All power was gathered in the Ministry of War and returned to the hands of Yu Qian, the Minister of War.

For example, during the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli periods, the governors and governors of various places in the Ming Dynasty, as ministers of the Ministry of War or ministers of the Ministry of War, controlled the generals in various places. The promotion, appointment and dismissal of local military generals were all a matter of a word from these governors. .

Tang Hao spoke first and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, come up with something practical!"

The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army has the power to command troops, while the Ministry of War has the power to deploy troops. This design is naturally designed to check and balance each other.

To put it bluntly, most of the military power of the Ming Dynasty is now in the hands of civil servants and gentry.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was basically a pattern of civilian officials taking precedence over military generals. For example, the governors of the imperial court, governors, and governors in various places were all civilian officials. Even if military generals had achieved military merit and wanted to be promoted, they had to go to Become a dog to these governors, flattering and fawning for bribes!

"This time, it's an excellent opportunity."

Tang Hao seems to be acting arrogantly and recklessly, but in fact, he is rough and subtle, and he even has a sharp mouth with sharp teeth!

If he becomes the commander-in-chief of the 60,000-strong new army, the next step is that the noble military ministers will probably create opportunities for Tang Hao to lead the new army to hunt for military glory!

At that time, Zhu Yong, the protector of the country, may appear in the court hall!

Don't forget, Tang Hao is now a prince, and his starting point is more than ten times higher than Zhu Yong's back then!

If Tang Hao is allowed to continue to grow, it will not be long before the civil servants and gentry will be unable to suppress the noble and military ministers, and thus lose the right to speak in the court!

Based on these considerations, Zhang Mao and Liu Daxia started a fierce confrontation. One insisted on killing Tang Hao, while the other refused.

"So, our first five-year plan is to try every means to train an iron army, an iron army that is enough to allow you, the little emperor, to regain power, and an iron army that is enough to scare the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty!"

"The most critical part of this plan is the issue of resources to build an iron army. Money, food and supplies are indispensable. Even if we are trying to sell iron, we must invest in it!"
